30mm carb fitment

[dygz21]

Are you guys that are running 30mm carbs getting it into the stock boot from the airbox. It fits into the intake manifold fine. Also it has a 145 main in it now... would that be a decent starting point for my mods?

I put a blow dryer on it for a bit until it was soft and it went right on for me. I'm no tuning expert yet, but I think 145 would be a good starting point but does sound like a rich starting point. I have porting and stroker crank on mine gonna start with 150 and 42.5 pilot. And do some chops to see what's up.

Thanks a lot... thats what I figured I would try, well a heat gun. I thought it was good ball park but wanted someone to verify! Thanks

i dremeled my reed boot out for a 33mm so maybe try a dremel and take a tiny bit off it should work

i used a heat gun on mine to stretch it. otherwise you can do a little cutting and stuff and use a short piece of pvc and a fernco coupler

Thats what I have to do on my 30 OKO,I try'ed to stretch it but did not work for me.I got it on one time.When I took it off,it would not fit back on with out reheating it.

to get my 28mm on it took me a long time of fighting it and finally got it on. I can only imaging how much of a pain a 30 would be without a dremel tool
